in syria down a turkish military jet on friday by chance two countries trying to defuse the incident search for missing. would retaliate but didn't specify with action might be taken. up next candid perspective on the syrian uprising from a senior aide to the country's president with a political and media advisor to the syrian leader gives us a view from inside assad's regime. thank you. for saying that siobhan political and media advisor to syria's president it's great to have you with us here today with that about i'm happy to be here so it's now official u.n. had of peacekeeping force has confirmed that syria is in a state of a civil war what do you say to that statement well i don't think that this could

work and then they're put in the three we've put this statement saying that it is not really but is sponsible to say that syria is in a state of civil war especially as we are fighting. terrorism i think the media in syria or some media has a war on syria that has a life of its own well talking about media you know when you read stories on syria in the internet media they often end with a disclaimer saying that the exact number of the victims in this conflict cannot be known because the syrian government doesn't give access to journalists on the other hand syrian government also says that the western media is very biased especially on who they call terrorists. my first question is do you think there can be trust restored between the western media and the syrian government or this media war will

only escalate while there are hundreds of journalists who came to syria during this crisis it's true that we've been given access to foreign journalists hundreds of freshened written of the game hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the world from india china. they were as from all over the world and so it's not true all the journalists are not given access to syria. but also there are. tens at least of the trunnions whole made themselves part of the war on syria and citing sectarian wars fabricating facts about what's happening in our country but the media war itself can do some real damage or hands on it can do a lot of damage to the media war because when you're. just a man and fighting sectarian hatred among the syrian people there are many people

who fall victim to do this incitement unfortunately the media war throughout history could be very damaging. but effective so you feel like syria's government could lose this in this conflict because of media war no i don't think so i don't think to that extent but it's definitely cause thing. lives of our people costing us the harmonious way of life you know we often hear especially lately the syrian government pointing fingers to the others who are supplying arms to the unknown terrorist groups who are these others can you name the countries really the gnome but i would like to say to you that. the syrian government is the issue the issue is syria the issue is the unity and safety and sovereignty and prosperity of syria that is the issue here but you surely have your own version not

official but your own version who may these people be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even the observers of the you i know that say that every. fan of the group we don't know who these people are we've been not to who they belong to my leadership i mean. they were forces and they would say to you this is the most the problem in syria that you know. and that's the problem you know cooperation with the u.n. is critical for syria safeguarding it against a military invasion but with observers on the ground you know there was still hope for some balanced solution. but now that the universe abruptly ended the mission and they left how big is this threat of foreign intervention in syria while i think that observers have made many statements saying that the syrian government corporate with us they did not stop the mission this or spend the mission we all

saw fear for their safety because the syrian people are. also afraid that some observers could be targeted by the groups and we would hate that to happen all we hear in the western media is the possibility of foreign invasion or intervention how do you assess the chances for indonesia i don't think that is that is possible in a sense because if you take what the sudan and prices and the rule of fresh and china with the double door twice and what would what this is with the stand off that it is the syrian people who should decide the future of syria i don't feel that. a military strike is possible and then if you look at what happened in libya or in yemen or you could see the consequences of what happened

and i think the west is quite aware of where things are in the middle east and i hope there are enough reasonable people in the were to weigh actions but it carefully and i feel that there's no consideration for such a thing because of course you do have russia's and channa support as far as day here in security council goes but that didn't help much in the iraqi scenario. you know they want around the u.n. security council resolution and invaded iraq what other means do you guys have except russia well they learn from it i also think that scenario of course of course countries learn from their experiences i have no doubt we'll all learn from our experiences i have no doubt that the west learned from afghanistan. and the from libya also that that military strike doesn't always come with the flow or the result doesn't achieve the best result that they hoped for i think the world is

different now and i think. it's no longer one polar system i think russia and china now hard to face and the international arena to that relief of most people and the world because we have suffered from one polar system and we're happy with the urgency of the bipolar system with the emergence of the brics and i think the words changing but look what just happened in libya for instance i mean the us and their partners they have a perfect hundred percent track record when it comes to removing they had so foreign states that they want removed and i'm keeping in mind the result they have shown for bashar assad to go what makes you think that this could be different scenario and come to see how much russia has lived from by libyan scenario for example russia have to change. the political scene in the word by making

an excellent stand in support of people who decide their future and is it democracy to decide in foreign countries to move ruler i mean this is the way the more close it should work or is it the people who should decide if it is not the only talking about syria is it the will curse it to say to the british people you should move camera or is it the. british people who should decide why that doesn't apply to other countries is it because of the colin who got money over the other people is it because the west doesn't believe that a people are equal to western people in their right to choose their own system at this is a question i pose a democracy means the people of the country should decide their future should decide who rules them and then what did the syrian people achieve throughout the

sea it was both cutting roads killing they are not losing their army and police people we are the ones who are losing it and when they talked about libya what did they say they said we didn't lose an american soldier but thousands tens of thousands of libyan people lost their lives. so does that not matter here talking about libya what are the implications of so much weaponry going into syria now what happens once the conflict is over and you have all this uncontrolled arms country full of arms what happened libya i think you can say that the conflict is over unless unless we all these arms are withdrawn from the street from the people that is what should happen. part of the conflict and in fact those who are smuggling arms and money into

syria are the ones what igniting the conflict there are these foreign and external factors particularly the media war smuggling arms and smuggling money to syria is a huge part of the problem and syria but can you do something about this at this point or it's out of your can i think of the international community who should also do something about that because those countries who say that they support kofi annan the plan and kofi annan plan say and the first item stopping armaments and stopping violence from all parties in all its forms some skeptics say that the reason a humanitarian corridor for people in syria's most troubled place homs is not possible is because hearing government is afraid along with the humanitarian aid will come something else is that true that not through that we be incorporating with the human that they're in agencies but until now we haven't seen anything of the

humanitarian aid arriving to syria we called it the absolutely fully with a human with it there's no problem so there's a humanitarian corridor open in homes right now there is no human to fit in code or i don't know where the negotiations are but there there is no need for human with it and call it god but there are assistance that. this coming and being distributed through that of the cross and that of the cousin do you feel like the allegations about people being badly in need of food and medical aid is exaggeration. extremely exaggerated you are also on that black list of sanctioned syrian officials that us the united states issued what does it feel to be like on a sanctioned list sanctioned by united state you mean personally for me it doesn't change anything that we. know i refused to go to the united states in two thousand and five and they sent me money in the invitations of brookings and for the money

institute the go on the give a lecture there i did them because i don't like to be treated. the american airport the way they treat people they probably treat all people like this but i don't like to be treated that way and i don't have to go to the united states and by the way they didn't sanction me they proved my assets and they know i don't have a single dollar not only in the united states anywhere and the word so their countries as many assets of the like because they don't have any of them my asset is the love for my country and for my people and all these you know propaganda movements to put their name or so on to want to put my name on sanction means nothing to me do books of mine are being sold in the united states i thought a duke university i thought is richer than university a third book of mine is now accepted to be published in the united states so i thought this should be embarrassed to put my name on the sergeant not me who should be embarrassed this should be embarrassed saying i shall want thank you very much

specify what action taken. the monster now the sports news and germany spain and portugal are all through to the euro twenty twelve something final so what do you make of them and what's your pick for tonight's quarterfinals when england and italy all carry after a bad start sort of portugal have perhaps been the biggest surprise to make the last four and by the way i have them as winners in our office we have spain. pulls you over and as for england and italy well that's definitely a classic and that promises to be an intense affair between two nations steeped in footballing passion i'll have the details in just a moment stick around. hello and welcome this is sports an artsy with me room on call sort of and let's get to the headlines all right away. a brace to celebrate jobby along those scores twice

more kids one hundred caps for spain as the center divorced his men set up and iberian semifinal against portugal after knocking out friends from your old two and it's well. while england and it's in they prepared to do battle in the last quarter final with the what is at stake on the german barrack house in the semifinal. and again you do three in a row red bulls sebastian that sold grabs ball would head of hamilton at the european grand prix where he's won the past two years. and so let's get rolling with football where the first semifinal pair for euro it's once it's well was finalized on saturday night's defending european champions spain claimed it's an ill wind all over france to set up a last four clash with portugal jobby alone so marked his one hundredth international cap for spain in style scoring both of these teams goals the first coming in the nineteenth minute following a dumping header or one in the lead and then alone so converted a penalty in stoppage time for putting his side to the semifinals amazingly it's

only the first time spain has beaten france in a major competitive match and they'll return to the don't boss arena in donetsk on wednesday to take on portugal. while in kiev on sunday nights angling will take on its way in the last quarter final off your old swans it's well to decide who will play germany in the last four in warsaw next thursday here's our tease kate portrush with a preview. the olympic stadium in kiev will host the first competitive match between england and italy for fifteen years and only the second is a european championship but after finishing unbeaten at the top of group d. england manager roy hodgson says the approach to this time i will be much like the others to certain is such a different mentality because it seems that in particular stage it was in the group stages you would have element of a knockout involved because you realize even when your game was going to result in

your game you could not get through to the final stages i don't think this can change our mentality particularly we must just make certain we prepare for the match that we are very for the much and when we go on the field we're capable of doing what we set out to the england all the only world cup winners never to have won the euros and lately have the habit of getting knocked out of big tournament of the quarter final stage but captain steven gerrard says this young team can still progress. well the atmosphere has been in the squad the confidence and belief that you know it's just important all the players seize this opportunity in this moment because you know from experience they don't come around very often so it's important that we we leave everything out there and we keep shown to everyone a lot out as an architect out there that we are good enough it's comparable that subsumes at this level the italians are also undefeated but miss key defend georgia killing a and midfielder tiago mata is a doubt coaches are

a friend ellie is aware of hodgson staal to the englishman managed into milan prandelli what name his team into the now before kick off as the azzurri aim to support england's tactics. we have watched all of ignorance previous games and know that they are one of the most organized european sides to play within forty yards and we need to stop them playing they play to high tempo and like to put the food we need to set the tempo from the start while england could face a familiar opponent in managed to city's mario balotelli the unpredictable strike a scored a stunner in the two know when overawed and and he's relishing the sort of facing some of his club nights i hope we're going to be a good match. i think it's going to be fun to play against my team mates. they know me and i know them and. i just hope we're going to be nice and fun by then us by laughing i just hope we're going to win because i want to win

even if they are my teammates i hope they're going to lose in may bring on big strike at andy carroll italy have targeted wayne rooney as engines danger man if he and ballots tally repeat their domestic rivalry it could go down to the last minute not that the english and italian fans that started arriving early here in the capital would mind at all. altie kiev ukraine. two high octane now were in formula one defending champion sebastian fed's all star in pole position for sunday's european grand prix in valencia the red bull driver has won in valencia for the past two seasons and was quickest in qualifying for the third straight year alongside him on the front row will be mclaren's lewis hamilton while pastore modern art of williams will start in third afterwards that's always quick to praise his team. in the last qualifying i knew that going at the

end of the track comes in a little bit more and tying them up together then yeah should be good enough maybe to to have a look at the poll in the end it was. yeah surprising but all in all i felt very well this weekend the boys have been working incredibly hard in their carriage all the people in the factory as well to make sure that we bring a couple of new parts to the car so they seem to work and obviously i'm looking looking forward to the race tomorrow. the wimbledon championships in tennis start on monday and the women's top seed maria sharapova is aiming for back to back grand slam titles but the russian admits it's self switching to grass after her success on clay at the french open yeah of course it's i think it's the toughest back to back grand slam wise. especially if you're coming off you know french open when our finalists it's the toughest turn around because you know as much as you want to so. you you come here and it's

a whole new ball game austria and that. has had a time they call buttons boost ahead of the grand slam she saved five match points to beat kerber in the final of the ease born international but was unseated for this third events and before it began has been on the terrible run winning only two matches this year but she suddenly hit form on grass after losing the first set seven five six kerber she came back to level the match. and then showed real fighting spirit in the decider she saved a match point at five three down and slipped and twisted her ankle but she dug deep and braved the pain and went on to save another four match points eventually winning the final set seventy five for the match project basis the world number one kerrigan was ok in the first round at wimbledon or both she's not thinking about that just yet. it's too much of emotions right now and more than half fear i've achieved what i wanted to achieve this week out of nowhere

out of no winning matches this year so it's an incredible feeling i'm so happy and the crowd just kept me going you know i twisted my ankle be there slide it so it was tough for me to hang in there being down for a five match points so it was an amazing match. that's american and erotic won the men's title at ease born he beat italian just setting in straight sets. in while russia has a new boxing champion left thirty of his claim the i.b.o. light weights water weight title and the first crowd for the south for already nicknamed the king rubber are the neon has the story thunder of june the way this big night of boxing in the russian capital was presented with this man who deserving the headline. currently one of russia's major prospects came out for his first turtle show and the ideal like will the weight belt on the line and here

comes the chant down guys there. the thirty two year old south african looked bigger and heavier with experience also playing in his side although the first seconds of the fight showed it was the russian speed and accuracy what with a rumor. around one summer boozer thunderstruck by king and the referee counting to the first note down i mean over seven of them have been put him down in the first round and was pretty hard punch but managed to stand up and continue the fight he was still dangerous he gave his all to defend a title. the defending champ and kept moving forward but could do nothing against the of speed the russians sold for kept hitting my mother with some bitter pill to swallow remaining nearly untouchable himself. clearly lost the second round

and the next one saw him fighting for survival first on the system i saw every single punch he threw he missed and i hit back in the land of that i was much faster and that's what gave me the edge it was over early in the fourth round when i was going to do if his opponent with a short and devastating left who. was so africans courage carried him through but he was far from recovered. in our exchange of the rubes so that people would be finishing the job in style and no he might lose a hold of us. i'm really happy now we've done a great job preparing for this fine and all those hard training sessions paid off for me and for the crown of the. figure when still live then there's the way people have established his name in books in zero eight the twenty nine year old keane captured his first ground in one can suspect in new challenge one before behind
